TO THE READER. 



The object of this book is to preserve and hand down to all future posterity representations of the 
Homes of their Forefathers. From a variety of causes they are rapidly disappearing ; and before long the 
places that now know them will know them no more. It has been a labor of lo\'e to the undersigned to 
collect these mementoes of the past, and his efforts have been ably seconded by many gentlemen to whom his 
thanks are hereby returned. He has labored under many disadvantages which cannot be here enumerated ; but 
he has tried to do his work faithfully, and no liberties have been taken with the old buildings here represented, 
or with their surroundings, merely for pictorial effect. It is true that a few houses have been sliglitly altered from 
what they are to what they were originally ; and sometimes an indifferent object, such as an old barn, or it may 
be a tree, has been left out or pushed aside to show the buikling to better advantage ; thus, if not photo- 
grajihically correct, they are sufficiently so for all [iractical purposes. 

Many persons will ask why Plymouth is so poorly represented. It is much to be regretted that so little 
which is old remains there ; and every one who visits the ])lace is, in consequence, disappointed. Yet it must be 
borne in mind tiiat Kingston was originally a part of Plymouth, and the old houses shown in that town are 
practically Plymouth houses. Tlie old house in Pembroke also was, when built, in Plymouth ; so that, upon the 
whole, Plymouth is not so poorly represented as might at first sight appear. 

Witli these preliminary remarks he respectfully offers his book to all who are interested in the early history 
of those who laid the foundations of tiiis Commonwealth, trusting it will meet with their approval.
